The President of the United States Sen
ate Invests in Abilene Earth.

Senator ingalls, was driven around
town this morning, by Col. j. I'll.
Brady. The distinguished visitor
greatly admired the beauty of ouI
city, and wondered at its phenomenal
growth. In the course of the drive,
the East Abilene Town company's
addition was reached. Here the
view is grand, and from this elevated
point can be seen the rolling prairieS.
winding streams, and thrifty farms
and ranches, as far as the eye can
reach. The Senator was entranced
with the location of the addition, SC
much so that he closed the bargain fol-
good sized bunch of lots on the spot.
1t isn't the vastness of the sale that
speaks so much for Abilene, as it is
the fact that one of the most promi-
nent men in the country has seen fit to
invest his money here.

Going Into the Cattle Business.

Senator Wesler6eld returned last Tuesday
morning from trip to the headwaters OF
Salmon Creek Falls, in Elko county. about
70 miles northwest of Wells. His object in
visiting that couatry was to look at some land
which he and other parties are thinking of
purchasing for a stock range. The land is
situated in a basin and is surrounded by
immense forests Of nurpine and mahogany
wood, and abundantly watered by the water
from Salmon Creek and other streams. The
tract of land is probably as large as half of
Lyon CO unity. The scheme is great one
and Mr. Wester6eld believes there is money
in it. His report to the other parties inter-
estA will, therefore. be very favorable.

81 cents per ton since they started. This
alone shows gain Of $1,000 per month,
the mill working 1900 tons of ore. Their
former average loss of quicksilver was one
pound to each ton of ore worked. At the
time Of writing he could not give the exact
figures of the. saving in quicksilver, but
places it above so per cent, or one-half a
pound to the ton, a net saving of at least
goo pounds Of quicksilver per month. Mr..

Justice Court.

The continuation of the hearing Of E. J.
West, charged with horse stealing, came up
yesterday before Justice of the Peace, T. r:
Hawkins. The defense opened their side OF
the case by putting on the stand Dick Ran
dial who testified that at Vests request he
had examined the horse while at Welche's
stable, to see if his feet could be shod, that
he found that the hors es feet were badly
worn. E. J. West the defendant testified
that he had made trip to Clover Valley,
CAL, about the middle of August last for
the purpose Of getting horses of his; ten
head that were in possession Of his brother
in-law; that he got them and was returning
with them; that on the road between the
Geiger grade and Reno he met man with
people travelling with him, in covered
wagon, and that he had some loose stock.
That one Of the horses in the team was lame
that the man offered to trade the lame horse
off. That after some dickering trade was
made by West giving two ponies for the
lame horse. That he brought the horse to
Dayton and kept him in Walmsley's barn
for two days, then drove him through Sutro
up to Virginia, where he had him shod and
where he kept him in Welche's stable, that
he or some one else rode the horse out on the
street every day after his feet got better
On cross examination West could not tell
the names Of any of the parties with the
men with whom he traded nor of the men
that he said the trade was made with. Did
not know where they came from nor where
they were going to. He also testified that
the balance of the horses, eight head, had
escaped from him, at or near Steamboat
Springs. That he had not recaptured them.
This completed the testimony in the case.
After argument by Counsel for State and de :
| Tense, the Justice held him to answer before
the Grand Jury, in the sum Of $500.
The case Of the State of Nevada VS.. E.
West charged with stealing two jennys from
F. Ritter, of Washoe caunty, was heard be.
fore the Justice yesterday. Herman and
Oscar Ritter testified as TO the identification
of the jennys and it was proved by their tes-
timony that the jacks West sold to the Chi
namen were the property Of Mr.. Ritter The
bill of sale given by West to the Cinnamon
was given in evidence and J. r. Shaw tesii-
fed to having written at Vests request and
in his presence the bill of sale. Testimony
was given that the jacks or jennys now in
the stable, which were taken from the Chi
namen were the ones sold him and that they
belonged to F. Ritter. The Stale closed and
the defense waived any presentation of ev
dence at that time, consequently Mr.. West
was held on this charge also, to answer be.
fore the Grand Jury.

Deserve encouragement.

1t is Notifying, but nevertheless truthful
to say that it is the hardest thing in the
world for the young people, or the grown
people either, of Dayton to pull together.
Numerous social societies have been organ
,zed here and they have all fallen through
in short time. Some months ago a brass
band was organized by some of the young
men of this place, and SO far the boys are
pulling together nicely. There are many
wise ones who predicted that the boys
would not stay together a month. They
still say the band will be a thing Of the past
in a month or two more. The TINES dos
not agree with them. Tuesday night last
the hand was out giving the town a general
serenade, and it gave the people a chance
to note how much improvement they had
made since the last time they marched
through the streets. They have purchased
new. caps that have torches in them and
they make a fine appearance. There is 10
be ball next week, but after it is over, and
it is time to dance again, we suggest that
ball be given for the benefit of the brass
band. Young men don't scour because you
don't belong to the band. Grown folks don't
throw cold water on the project because the
boys don't learn quite fast enough to suit
you or don't play your iavorte pieces. Turn
out and give the boys good benefit.

fine bull Davis has two young ones for sale,
and they cannot do better than to buy of
him. The Holsteins are the best mixers in
the country and are just the cattle for dairy
